If the language on here is so bad (which i dont think it is at all) then is it not right for the Admins to police it and take action against repeat offenders.......??

There seem to be no formal rules on langauge on here and to an outsider there is no visible policing of it either ?

 

[jonny2112]

The use of 'language' is oft discussed on here.  What is currently deemed acceptable is somewhat different to that previously accepted/tolerated and, I surmise, substantially more 'Sunday go to Church' than on, for example, BarryBpys, Corsa forums et al.

What is acceptable to one person is horrendous to another.

Admins/Mods can and do loose patience as we all can and this does reflect in post content.  Sadly, this does open the gates for others.....

As always, all that is asked is that posts do not offend public decency.  The addition of NWS to a header was a hard fought battle once it was realised that the flood gates to assorted 'colourfull' postings had become acceptable to the general concensus.  Whether that standard was acceptable to the Old Guard is, obviously, open to discussion yet again but, personally, I fear we, as a forum for things Omega, has somewhat lost its path.

If we want to discuss general smutt, inuendo, soft porn and other near the knuckle things on what is intrinsically a car forum then, I would rather spend my time elsewhere sometimes....

A personal opinion, and not off Admin as a whole....  If WE (and that is the regal we, meaning ALL OOF members) do not get a grip on what WE want of the forum then, I fear, the gates of Hades are creaking open......

If this is considered a wee rant by some then so be it.  But its not meant as one.  just an observation........ 

Can't argue with that pal  8-)

Well said Broocie

The members are (essentially) the people who have to decide what is wanted... But there are definitely people (myself included) who would reduce the time spent here if it went the way of Barryboys/Corsa forums etc

But it hasnt gone the way of those forums and isnt near to going that way either.........!!

Yet!

And it takes one heckova input by mods/admins to try and stem the tide!

Perhaps if some of those members who are longer of tooth could also pitch in and say 'Woah' as and when some comments etc posted offends their sensibilities?  :-/

As I said earlier, say if something offends you

Yet... They probably started at the top of a slippery slope too.

I find the language used and "abuse" thrown at people seem to vary and, as I have already said, just spend less time here if it gets on my nerves

[Lazydocker]

Blimey... H21 and I are obviously in tune tonight

[HolyCount]

There's a bit of blue blood in my veins -- but none, as far as I know, from King Canute --- trying to hold back the tide was beyond him, as it is me.

Anyway ---- Ovaltine calls --- time for this coffin dodger to be tucked up in his warm quilt.

Night all

Trouble is, some of the "offensive posters" just scoff if that happens and get even worse... I know, I've experienced it in the past

(oh... And I'm certainly not "Long in the tooth" but do feel quite strongly about some things)

[Vamps]

I have obviously missed something but I agree, I feel there has been a general degeneration over recent months, many threads I just choose to keep out of. I also have to be increasingly aware that Miss Vamps often watches the forum over my shoulder and have been pleased with the NWS warnings so that I know what to open or not.
I think Entwood's comments are fair and we should all take the gypsy warning.........

[webby23]

Anyway, I am off now too, work at 7am.

Good discussion tonight, plenty of opinions and all said in a polite and well spirited manner.......

 

[Squealey]

Just wanted to say, Lee, you will be sorely missed mate. I used and abused you for a good couple of weeks when my HG went kaputt. You went over and above the call of duty to help me out and I hope you realise just ow much I appriciated it. Top Man!

[unlucky mark mv6]

Well i also missed whatever went on lee,as i aint been on much lately,but dont stay away too long.
